SECTION-I (i)

1) Water coming out of the mouth of a tap and falling vertically in streamline flow forms a tapering
column, i.e., the area of cross-section of the liquid column goes on decreasing as it moves down, the

most accurate explanation for this is

As the water moves down, its speed increases and hence its pressure decreases. It is then
(A)
compressed by the atmosphere
Falling water tries to reach a terminal velocity and hence reduces the area of cross-section to
(B)
balance upward and downward forces
The mass of water flowing past any cross-section must remain constant. Also, water is almost
(C)
incompressible. Hence, the rate of volume flow must remain constant.
(D) The surface tension causes the exposed surface area of the liquid to decrease continuously

2) A gas is filled in different spherical balloons in vacuum, each with n moles of an ideal gas at
temperature T. Radius of a balloon is r. The stress in the walls of the balloon is

(A) Independent of r
(B) Inversely proportional to r2
(C) Inversely proportional to r
(D) Proportional to r2

3) An alloy of two metals is formed by taking their equal masses and it was found to float on mercury
(density 13.6 g cm–3) with 52.7% above the mercury surface. When an alloy is formed by taking equal
volumes of these two metals it was found to float on mercury with 51.5 % of its volume below the
surface of mercury. The densities of the two metals in g cm–3 are closest to

(A) 6 and 8
(B) 5 and 9
(C) 4.5 and 9.5
(D) 4 and 10

4) At the disposal of a physicist, there are two thermal reservoirs - very hot with temperatures 227
°C and just hot with temperatures 77 °C. Physicist is told to run a refrigerator by extracting 2000 J
from just hot body. What is the minimum mechanical work he'll have to do? The heat capacities of
the hot and very hot body can be considered very large.

SECTION-I (ii)

1) A Sympiezometer is an alternative device used for measuring atmospheric pressure. The

schematic diagram for the device is shown here. The flask is fitted with a tight-fitting cork through
which a thin tube is passed. There is some mercury in the flask above which there is air at pressure
above atmospheric pressure. We can neglect the effects of surface tension. Initially the height of
mercury in the tube is 24 cm. The area of the tube is 0.1 cm2. The volume of the empty space is 100
cc. Atmospheric pressure is 76 cm of mercury column. The area of the mercury surface is 100 cm2.

(A) If atmospheric pressure increases slightly, height of mercury in tube would decrease.
If a little amount of mercury was added to tube, the surface area of mercury in flask would
(B)
slightly increase.
If there was no mercury in the tube, the pressure of the air in the empty space would be 76 cm
(C)
of mercury column
If mercury in the tube were to be removed completely, the surface area of the mercury in the
(D)
flask would decrease.

2) Adjacent figure shows a block A, held by a spring balance D and submerged into a liquid in a
beaker. The beaker is kept on a weighing balance E. Mass of the beaker plus the liquid is 2.5 kg.

statements. Select the correct statement(s). Take : g = 10 m/s2

(A) The density of the liquid is 5000/3 kg/m3

(B) The mass of block A is 7.5 kg
(C) The buoyant force is 50 N.
(D) If half the volume of the block is pulled out of the liquid, E would read 5 kg.

3) A piece of ice floats in water in a calorimeter. We lower the constant heater into the calorimeter
having a power of 10 cal/sec and start measuring water temperature every minute. During the first
three minutes the temperature increased by 2 degrees, and by the end of the fourth minute by
another 5 degrees. Neglect the heat losses and the heat capacity of the calorimeter. Swater = 1
cal/gm°C, Lice = 80 cal/gm.

Housewives face a typical problem when cleaning the house. Sometimes when they are wiping the
floor with water, the water from the bucket spills over. This water can form a puddle on the ground
and can be quite a menace to clean. It can be assumed that the water has spread out on the ground
like a pancake whose parameters are shown here. If the volume of the drop is small, it will form a
small drop whose cross section is a sphere. But that is not the worry of the housewife. The worry is a
large puddle as shown here. Assume that 6 liters of water of density 1000 kg/m3 are spilled on the
ground with contact angle θE. The surface tension is 0.49 N/m., g = 10m/s2, atmospheric pressure is
105 Pa.

1) Calculate the wet surface area (in m2) when contact angle is .
2) Calculate the gauge pressure (in N/m2) at the base of the puddle when the contact angle is 180°.

0°C, and covered the glass with a tightly fitting lid. Estimate the force (in N) required to remove the
lid from the glass immediately after the ice melts. Consider that heat enters the glass only from

nd
Similarly, from 2 equation roots in GP with common ratio = r

⇒ Roots
∴ p3 = c3 ⇒ p = c is a root
c3 + bc2 + c – c3 = 0 ⇒ c(bc + 1) = 0
But c ≠ 0 ⇒ bc = –1 ....(ii)

From (i) and (ii), ab – = 2a3

⇒ b2a – 2a3b – 18 = 0

∴ By quadratic formula,
∴ For b ∈ I ⇒ a = 1,2,3,6,9,18 only
But only at a = 2; b = 9 ∈ I
∴ Possible (a,b) = (2,9)

44) y = ax2 + bx + c must be one one

Case (I) : We have c = 1, and 4a + 2b + c = 0 ⇒ 2a + b =

Case (II) : We have c = 0 and 4a + 2b + c = 1 ⇒ 4a + 2b = 1 ⇒ 2a + b =

45)

Case-I : But cannot take value in (0,2)

Case-II :

46) Let common ratio = r(r ∈ I+)

∴ GP → x,xr,xr2
Also, 1 + log2(x2r + xr2) = log2(x2r2 + xr)
⇒ 2xr(x + r) = xr(xr + 1)
(∵ xr ≠ 0) ∴ 2(x + r) = xr + 1

As x ∈ I ⇒ r – 2 = 1 or 3
⇒ r = 3 or 5
If r = 3 ⇒ x = 5 ⇒ Nos are 5,15,45
r = 5 ⇒ x = 3 ⇒ Nos are 3,15,75

x + 1 = (x + 1) – 2x = ((x +1) – 2x ) – 2x

ℓn2 ℓny
(x + 1) = 5 ....(2)
by (1) ℓn5(ℓn5 + ℓn(x + 1)) = ℓn2(ℓn2 + ℓny)

Let
A = ℓn(x + 1)
B = ℓny
b(b + A) = a(a + B) ...(3)
By (2) aA = Bb ...(4)

50) Let
log10N = 100(log103 – log102) = 100(0.1761)
= 17.61 ⇒ P = 18

Let
log10N1 = 100(log102 – log103) = –18 + 0.39
Numerical value = 18; number of zeroes are 17 = Q
51) α + β = p & αβ = q
γ + δ = q and γδ = p
⇒ α + β – αβ + γ + δ – γδ = 0
∴ (α – 1) (β – 1) + (γ – 1) (δ – 1) – 2 = 0
(α – 1) (β – 1) + (γ – 1) (δ – 1) = 2
Case-1 let (α – 1) (β – 1) = 0 and (γ – 1) (δ – 1) = 2
(γ, δ) = (3,2) and (2,3) (p,q) = (6,5)
Case-2 (α – 1) (β – 1) = 1 (γ – 1) (δ – 1) = 1
(α,β) = (2,2) ⇒ (p,q) = (4,4)
Case-3 (α – 1) (β – 1) = 2 and (γ – 1) (δ – 1) = 0
(α,β) = (2,3) ⇒ (p,q) = (5,6)
Hence number of ordered pair = 3
